There is no life in the story, and what could be a thoughtful rumination on mortality offers only pat Disneyfied lessons.

Lambent, wholesome youth film, nothing short of magical, wherein a cosseted, cloistered lass escapes from her perennial confines of parental stuffiness .

A great-looking film with beautiful scenery and some fine actors, but it lacks a good third act.

With much to be enchanted by while you're watching and some worthwhile questions to think about afterwards, Tuck Everlasting is rewarding old-fashioned entertainment.

Attractively filmed and pleasantly conceived, it ventures too far into sentimentality, and not far enough into its fascinating life versus immortality subject matter.

At one point, Winnie says to Jesse that she 'wishes this moment could last forever.' I thought the movie was going to last forever.

Despite its sad feel, and the fact that it drags almost to a standstill in the middle, it's quite beautiful visually and features fine performances by Bledel, Jackson, and the others.

A movie that the less charitable might describe as a castrated cross between Highlander and Lolita.

Harks back to a time when movies had more to do with imagination than market research.

In the end, Tuck Everlasting falls victim to that everlasting conundrum experienced by every human who ever lived: too much to do, too little time to do it in.

That rare movie that works on any number of levels -- as a film of magic and whimsy for children, a heartfelt romance for teenagers and a compelling argument about death, both pro and con, for adults.

Sure to make teenage girls giddy, their mom’s cry and their father’s smile.

[The kind of] story that stays with kids, becomes more meaningful to them as grownups.

"Tuck Everlasting" is a rare thing: not only a family film but a film about a young woman.

Don't be put off by people who may tell you this is a children's story. There are universal themes here that are not limited by age.
